It is not cheap here and a little over a year ago we went through delivery issues (like 2-3 weeks with very spotty delivery) so many people who still took the home delivery just totally quit. We live on a 2 block long street/cul-de-sac and only 3 of us are left with home delivery where it was more than double that prior to the delivery issues. No Kindle for me but my wife does use one on some road trips. Actual price on SXM was not bad at all.
